Bored Panda reached out to Biju PB to learn more about his work. We were curious about how he began his journey in macro photography and why he chose frogs as his primary subject. Here’s what he shared: "I've been an avid birder for about 20 years. During my birding trips, I would occasionally encounter some colorful frogs. Over time, I learned that many of these frogs are endemic and endangered, often overlooked by wildlife enthusiasts. My friendship with a couple of amphibian experts further deepened my interest. I wanted to showcase their hidden beauty to the public."

Macro photography can be incredibly challenging, and Biju shared some insights about the biggest difficulties he faces when capturing frogs: "It's my passion, and my focus is always on the results. The real challenge lies in spotting specific frogs due to their restricted habitats. However, once I find them, the rest becomes easy—as far as I'm concerned."

When asked about the gear and techniques essential for achieving the precision and vibrancy seen in his macro shots, the Indian photographer explained: "A steady hand, a dedicated macro lens, flash, a good diffuser (I use the 'Radiant Diffuser'), and of course, post-processing."

Finally, we asked Biju about his upcoming plans and whether there are any new species or ecosystems he is excited to explore. He kindly shared: "My friends and I are planning to create a brochure about the different frogs of the Western Ghats, which we intend to distribute freely to students and the general public. We're currently working on it."
